This has all the methods needed for creating a GUI Binding. Fill in these methods with code from a GUI Binding and you should be able to get the Locana GUI Builder up and running on your favorite GUI. See locana_gui_mswin32.rb and locana_gui_tk.rb for examples of working GUI Bindings.

I believe this requires Tk/Tcl 8.1 or higher. I know Tk/Tcl 8.0 fails because the create line does not support -dash. I have tested with Tk/Tcl 8.3.

See locana.rb for more details.

Methods and instance variables specific to this GUI binding should be prefixed with ‘lg_’ to make is easier to spot internal use only methods.

History

• 6/7/2002 - Added support for select_text so you can highlight text in the textbox, editbox, and password classes.
